Notary Bond Calculator FAQs
How much does a notary bond cost?
Most notary bonds cost between $40 and $200 for the full bond term, which is typically 4 years. The exact cost depends on your state's required bond amount, which ranges from $500 (Wisconsin) to $50,000 (Alabama since September 1, 2023, and Louisiana since February 1, 2026); Indiana, Montana, and Pennsylvania (new commissions since March 28, 2026) require $25,000. Some states, such as Georgia, require no notary bond at all. States with higher bond amounts have higher premiums, but notary bonds remain among the most affordable surety bonds available.
Do all states require a notary bond?
No. About 36 states plus DC require a notary surety bond. States that do not require a notary bond include New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Vermont. Connecticut requires E&O insurance instead of a surety bond.
How long does a notary bond last?
Most notary bonds last 4 years, matching the standard notary commission term. However, some states differ: Indiana requires an 8-year bond, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Ohio have 5-year terms, and a few states run longer terms. Confirm your term with your commissioning office. Your bond must remain active for the entire duration of your notary commission.
